#AllOurPride – London Pride 2022
This year is a highly significant year for the Pride movement and the LGBTQ+ community as it is the celebration to commemorate 50 years since the first Pride march took place in the United Kingdom. This year’s Pride in London parade take place on Saturday 2nd July.
Over the last 50 years the movement has truly evolved; the campaign this year will aim to celebrate and commemorate this evolution, acknowledging those who have championed the movement and those who still stand for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community today. The campaign will also direct its attention to the next 50 years and recognise the fact that the community still faces daily challenges and tribulations nationally and globally.
This year’s campaign slogan is #AllOurPride, recognising and embracing the many intersecting ways that the LGBTQ+ community and allies celebrate Pride, and commemorating 50 years since the first march took place in the UK back in 1972.
